Chapter 1528 (Raw 1510): Breaking an Arm
Xiao Chen and the three Primes soared into the air, preparing to welcome the eighteen Demon Monarchs in combat . Who knew, the eighteen Demon Monarchs flew directly to the Treasure Master .
Then, the many Demon Monarchs dropped to one knee in midair, saying together, “Greetings, Church Master!”
The Treasure Master did not say much . He waved his hand, getting the many Demon Monarchs to stand up, before looking at Xiao Chen’s group and saying, “Stop that island!”
“We obey!”
After receiving the order of the Treasure Master, the eighteen Demon Monarchs immediately turned around and quickly flew towards Heavenly Star Island .
Xiao Chen’s group of four stood guard outside Heavenly Star Island, coldly eyeing these eighteen Demon Monarchs .
Invisible auras spread out from the two sides .
Both sides looked very ordinary; their appearances did not stand out too much . However, this was the apex, the scariest confrontation in the entire Kunlun Realm .
All the cultivators on the island held their breath, not even daring to breathe and make a sound .
To many people, the eighteen Demon Monarchs were just legendary characters . It was very rare to see even one of them . Today, they all appeared at the same time . It would be hard for one not to be nervous . Everyone worried for Xiao Chen and the three Primes .
The Demon Monarchs were not like the Immortal statues . While the Immortal statues were as strong as Primes, in a one-on-one fight, they would not be able to defeat the Cyclic Astral Lord or the others .
After all, the Immortal statues could not practice Martial Techniques . While they could use Magic Skills and their movements were nimble, their thoughts could not keep up with a living person’s . They could only rely on their numbers and physical advantage to suppress the three Primes miserably on Heavenly Star Island .
When Xiao Chen faced the seventeen Immortal statues, he had been confident of knocking them all back by himself . However, when he faced the eighteen Demon Monarchs, he brought along the three Primes .
Clearly, Xiao Chen did not dare to commit too much to this .
This battle was fated to become the official start of the Demonic Calamity .
In this tentative confrontation, the Celestial Demon Monarch, the Earth Demon Monarch, and the Shadow Demon Monarch took the lead . They did not act rashly . Instead, they sized up Xiao Chen’s group, trying to figure Xiao Chen’s group out .
This was especially so for Xiao Chen . As for the others—the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, the Cyclic Astral Lord, and the Bright Moon Empress—the Demon Monarchs had fought them before, having clashed several times during the smaller Demonic Calamity one thousand years ago, and were quite familiar with their strength .
The only one that the Demon Monarchs could not understand was Xiao Chen . They felt that this person was unfathomable like a deep spring . He vaguely gave off a mysterious aura they had sensed only from the Treasure Master before .
The Treasure Master did not say anything, not informing the eighteen Demon Monarchs how strong Xiao Chen was .
The Treasure Master’s true motive did not seem to be Heavenly Star Island . He seemed to be more concerned with how strong Xiao Chen was .
Compared to the city filled with cultivators, clearly, Xiao Chen was more important to the Treasure Master .
The Celestial Demon Monarch suddenly said, “You are the Azure Dragon King?”
Xiao Chen nodded and replied softly, “I am . Do you have any advice?”
“Giving advice? I do not dare to claim to do that . I heard that you are the strongest in the Kunlun Realm and was just feeling a little itchy . Before the big fight, how about we exchange one move first?”
Of course, the Celestial Demon Monarch had heard of Xiao Chen’s fame before . However, whether this proposal was really due to him itching for a fight was hard to say .
“Do not agree . I have crossed this Celestial Demon Monarch before . He is full of tricks, very crafty . While he says that he wants to exchange one move with you, he definitely has other plans up his sleeve,” the Myriad-Law Fiend Master whispered to Xiao Chen .
The Celestial Demon Monarch’s position among the eighteen Demon Monarchs of the Deep Abyss Demonic World was similar to the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s among the Kunlun Realm’s Primes; he was the strongest of the Demon Monarchs .
The Celestial Demon Monarch was stronger than the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign . Back then, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master got provoked into fighting him and lost . The loss left a deep impression; hence, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master remembered it well .
This was especially so for the Celestial Demon Monarch’s crafty methods catching people off guard .
“Myriad-Law Fiend Master, I merely beat you into a somewhat miserable state . Why the need to bear so much hatred for me?!” The Celestial Demon Monarch laughed loudly . His hearing was very sharp, picking up what the Myriad-Law Fiend Master said .
“I agree,” Xiao Chen said indifferently, showing a calm expression .
The Celestial Demon Monarch revealed a faint smile and said, “Very bold . Let’s begin, then . ”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The rest of the eighteen Demon Monarchs moved aside, leaving the Celestial Demon Monarch to face Xiao Chen . The three Primes also helplessly made space for Xiao Chen .
Xiao Chen, be careful . The Celestial Demon Monarch is not simply after an exchange . He surely has some backup plans . When he exchanges move with you, he will definitely execute the Demonic Shadow Palm, condensing the image of the Demonic God . It is extremely horrifying, so be careful .
Suddenly, a voice rang out in Xiao Chen’s mind . His heart skipped a beat when he realized whose voice it was .
Xiao Chen’s expression did not change . As he was preparing, he sent a voice projection without giving anything away . Don’t send a voice projection to me . The Treasure Master is extremely horrifying . If we are not careful, we will be exposed .
Leng Yue felt a warmth in her heart at the confirmation that the other party still cared for her . It was just that he showed a cold expression, not revealing anything .
However, the Treasure Master, whose appearance could not be clearly seen, smiled icily as a hint of chill flashed in his eyes .
“Young man, the saying is true, ‘The newborn calf does not fear the tiger . ’ I shall let you have the first move . ” The Celestial Demon Monarch gestured in invitation as he looked at Xiao Chen .
“Many thanks . ”
With these simple words, Xiao Chen promptly took action without hesitating . The Azure Dragon Divine Wings appeared on his back and flapped ferociously, turning him into a fleeting shadow launching at the Celestial Demon Monarch .
Xiao Chen moved swiftly and was decisive in his attack . As the light flickered, he did not hesitate at all . It was like how he drew his saber, never faltering and never fearing .
Before the Celestial Demon Monarch’s smile could fade, it froze as his expression turned stiff .
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen attacked immediately upon saying that he would . With a gust of strong wind, the Celestial Demon Monarch lost sight of Xiao Chen’s figure .
“I see you!”
When the Celestial Demon Monarch squinted, he finally saw Xiao Chen’s figure . A plain and simple fist light appeared before him .
Damn it, are you underestimating me? To think that you are not even using a Martial Technique .
“Demonic Shadow Palm!”
The Celestial Demon Monarch cursed in his heart and instantly executed his killing move .
“Hu chi!” A Demonic God image that gathered the faith of the Demonic World and the evil and wicked energies of the world appeared behind the Celestial Demon Monarch .
The moment the colossal Demonic God image appeared, it gave off boundless Demonic Might .
“Rumble…!” Thunder rumbled incessantly . That was the Heavenly Dao raging, not permitting such an evil thing to appear in the world .
Behind Xiao Chen, the vast Heavenly Star Island, which had taken to the air once more, shook intensely . It wobbled, looking like it would fall again .
The Demonic God image was even larger than the Immortal statues . Its figure seemed to block half the sky, shrouding the entire Heavenly Star Island in darkness .
Amid the darkness, everyone could only see the Demonic God image, which was even darker than a dark night . Even the light of the lightning was buried in the darkness .
As the Celestial Demon Monarch threw a palm strike, the Demonic God image likewise threw a palm strike at Xiao Chen .
“It’s over . Why is Xiao Chen not using a Martial Technique?”
The three Primes were startled . The might of this Demonic Shadow Palm was very famous as one of the Deep Abyss Demonic World’s top ten strongest Martial Techniques .
Of those who wanted to practice it, few could . Even fewer were those who could practice it to the peak . Currently, only the Celestial Demon Monarch had accomplished that .
“Bang!”
Just as everyone worried for Xiao Chen, a loud report rang out . Light appeared again, and blood leaked out of a corner of his lips . This palm strike knocked him back one kilometer before he could stand firmly .
The Demonic God image disappeared, and the Celestial Demon Monarch growled, “Azure Dragon King, I showed you respect on account that you are the strongest in the Kunlun Realm, asking for a fair exchange with you . However, you did not even use a Martial Technique . Are you trying to humiliate me?”
The three Primes worried that Xiao Chen was injured and wanted to go forward to protect him first . However, Xiao Chen held his hand up and stopped them .
He wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips and looked at the blood on his hand . Then, he entered deep thought and muttered, “The Demonic God’s might is truly horrifying . It is just an image, and yet it can erupt out with such might . ”
When he clashed with that palm strike earlier, it had felt like he was facing an entire world rather than a palm strike . His internal organs were significantly injured, and he could not help spitting out some blood .
Xiao Chen had experienced such a feeling only when bringing out the state of cycle . Unexpectedly, the Demonic God image’s casual palm strike easily managed to do this .
“Xiao Chen, did you not hear what I said? Why did you not use a Martial Technique?!” The Celestial Demon Monarch stretched out his hand, pointing furiously at Xiao Chen, appearing extremely unset .
“You don’t understand? Well, you will soon . ”
Xiao Chen did not give the Celestial Demon Monarch a direct answer, stunning everyone .
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the arm that the Celestial Demon Monarch had extended towards Xiao Chen exploded with a ‘bang’ and a flash of scarlet .
An agonized shriek rang out, and the Celestial Demon Monarch was blasted back . After goggling at his missing right arm, he gaped at Xiao Chen with some horror in his eyes .
“My punch gathered all the Veritable Essence Energy in my body and also one Cauldron Force of strength . Together with the Azure Dragon War Body, using a Martial Technique no longer matters . Do you understand now?” Xiao Chen explained softly with an indifferent expression .
