Chapter 1536
Chapter 1536 (Raw 1518):
After the final discussions ended, it was time to mobilize everyone. The main peak of Kunlun Mountain became the gathering place of all the experts from the various regions.
Many experts volunteered, one after another, coming to the main peak of this Kunlun Mountain.
Most of the older-generation experts gathered there, where the main hall of the Kunlun Palace was.
The younger-generation outstanding talents and the outstanding talents that rose up during the golden age gathered at the peak of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring.
Now, the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring was sealed in ice. There were also countless experts guarding the place in secret.
The reason why the youths preferred to gather here was simple. Many of the Kunlun Realm's outstanding talents once soaked in the divine springs.
This included Xiao Chen. Back then, he resisted Di Wuque in this divine spring before slowly growing famous in the Kunlun Continent.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Figures flashed, and two people descended from the air, moving side by side. They were Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji, two of what was once known as the Tianwu Domain's three Holy Scions.
These two were on very good terms, frequently spending time together. The moment they appeared, several people immediately recognized them.
Among the younger generation, these two were well-known figures, having long since become influential people.
During the golden age, each of them obtained their own fortuitous encounters. This was especially so after they received the Deity Race's help in forging Deity Statues. Their strength increased extremely fast.
Sovereign's Emperor Might casually leaked from the two's bodies, shocking many.
"What a strong Emperor Might! Unexpectedly, these two are already Sovereign Martial Emperors."
"It is to be expected. Di Wuque advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor one year ago. These two follow Di Wuque closely, and their talents are not weaker. Furthermore—"
"Whoosh!"
A sudden chill spread in the sky. Three figures arrived quickly from the distance.
When these figures approached, everyone saw that these were two men and one woman. The female was Shui Lingling, the current Sect Master of the Supreme Sky Sect. The two men were An Junxi and Bai Wuxue.
All three of them also exuded the Emperor Might of a Sovereign Martial Emperor, attracting attention from many.
More importantly, the Sovereign's Emperor Might coming from the three was even heavier and stabler than Xia Houjue's and Feng Wuji's.
Now, the three vaguely appeared to be on the level of a Holy Master, no weaker than Ninth Heaven Martial Emperors.
After leaving the Savage Battlefield, the three entered closed-door cultivation and only recently came out.
As the disciple of the Thunder Sovereign, An Junxi naturally had extraordinary accumulations. Shui Lingling had the resources of an entire sect at her disposal.
As for Bai Wuxue, he had the Eternal Ice from Xiao Chen. After refining it, he finally advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor.
These three did not rely on the power of faith to reach Sovereign Martial Emperor. Instead, they relied on their own accumulations and fortuitous encounters. Naturally, after advancing to Sovereign Martial Emperor, they were stronger than these two Holy Sons.
"Shui Lingling, Bai Wuxue, An Junxi, you three actually advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor as well!" Xia Houjue exclaimed in surprise, shock flashing in his eyes.
Bai Wuxue smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe it? Do you want to give it a try and see who is the true Sovereign Martial Emperor?"
"Is that interesting? The Demonic Calamity is approaching, and a great decisive battle is before us. If you want to compete, do so with the number of Demons you kill."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the two's conversation.
Only the voice could be heard; no speaker could be seen. The voice echoed in the place, reverberating. Only when it finally stopped did the master of the voice appear.
A black-clad person with an indifferent expression stood on a stone pillar, cradling a treasure sword as he looked at everyone.
"Yan Shisan!"
The people of the Profound Domain immediately recognized Yan Shisan.
This was the strongest younger-generation swordsman of the Profound Domain. He cultivated the Killing Sword Dao and had not been seen for many years. His aura was even colder than before.
However, the killing Qi in his eyes had become more withdrawn and concealed; not even a hint of sharpness remained.
No one could guess Yan Shisan's strength. However, based on the fact that he did not fear the Sovereign's Emperor Might of Shui Lingling and the others, he was, at the very least, a Sovereign Martial Emperor.
"How lively! Unexpectedly, there are so many old friends."
Laughter rang out. Qi Wuxue and Long Fei, the White Bone Sovereign's descendant, walked over while laughing.
Qi Wuxue was naturally unbridled and unrestrained. He took mundane matters lightly and was frequently found smiling. People who liked him would say that he was optimistic. Those who did not would say that he was a bad influence that always lingered around.
All the influential people of the younger generation appeared and gathered here. There was only one purpose, to await the impending Demonic Calamity.
The crowd chatted casually, and more people arrived. However, this time, it was not just a trickle.
Instead, it was a large group. Mo Chen led the Dragon's Gate's people over. There was the fatty Jin Dabao, the Asura Race's Lan Shaobai and Xiao Yu, the Sky Dome Realm's Xuanyuan Zhantian and Gong Yangyu, and Yue Bingyun, as well as many other Dragon's Gate experts.
Behind them were the Sun Palace's Chu Yang, the Moon Palace's Fu Hongyao, the Northern Sea Alliance's Ye Chen, Di Xinhan, and many other Heavenly Starry Ocean experts, who intermingled with the Dragon's Gate's group.
"It's the Dragon's Gate's people!"
"There are really many experts. Unexpectedly, the Dragon's Gate actually managed to gather so many young outstanding talents."
"That's not right. Other outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean seem to be mixed in. Could it be that they are all now the Dragon's Gate's people?"
"That should not be so. After all, the Dragon's Gate is the only large sect left in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. So they can only let the Dragon's Gate take the lead."
The arrival of the Dragon's Gate's people made the area around the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring even livelier.
After a while, three strong auras rushed over—the Fiend Race's Xiao Bai, Kong Yuan, and Yuan Xu.
Soon, more people arrived: the descendants and disciples of the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea, including Sima Lingxuan, Ba Tu, and Ba Yan.
"Demonic Qi?"
Suddenly, someone noticed the presence of Demonic Qi, which instantly put countless people on guard.
However, when they saw the master of this Demonic Qi, they lowered their guard slightly. The one who arrived was the Human-Demon Sea genius, Dugu Ao.
Feeling that his own identity was somewhat complicated, Dugu Ao did not mix in with the rest. Instead, he stood in a distant corner, closing his eyes and resting.
Dugu Ao was a Demon mixed-blood. However, now, the Human-Demon Sea had also joined the Kunlun Realm's camp, so they were in the same group.
Although the people here hated Demons to the bone, they would not attack their ally.
After half a day, almost all the young outstanding talents of the entire Kunlun Realm had gathered here.
However, after looking around, most discovered that one very influential person had not come—Di Wuque!
As the Divine Son, his talent was excellent. His strength also went without saying.
However, everyone knew that there was a great conflict between Di Wuque and Xiao Chen. This time, it was Xiao Chen leading the alliance against the Demons. No one knew whether Di Wuque could let this go and rush over.
"Xia Houjue, is Di Wuque really not coming?"
"Could it be that he is going to hide and be a coward?" Someone laughed coldly, mocking Di Wuque.
"He is probably too embarrassed to come. Before the Azure Dragon King rose up, he kept pitting himself against Xiao Chen and tried to kill him several times."
Xia Houjue appeared to be placed in a spot, not knowing what to answer.
"Humph!"
A cold snort rang out. Golden light filled the sky and scattered down. A person bathed in golden divine light appeared above everyone. Who could this be but Di Wuque?
After looking around coldly at the people mocking him, Di Wuque withdrew his aura and landed at an empty spot.
Di Wuque showed a cold expression; no one could make out what he was feeling. He appeared to be distancing himself.
Only the youths that Di Wuque glared at felt some pressure. They were drenched in cold sweat, not daring to say anything more.
"What strength!"
This was everyone's evaluation of Di Wuque. Although he lost in the competition with Xiao Chen to be the one favored by Luck, his strength still rendered most people speechless.
Not long after Di Wuque turned up, a person flew over from the Kunlun Palace's peak. This person wore snow-white clothes, and his hair fluttered all over the place. He had delicate features and held a saber in his hand as he landed firmly.
"The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen!"
The moment Xiao Chen arrived, he drew everyone's attention. The many gazes were either filled with respect, helplessness, or incredibly complicated emotions.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Not long after Xiao Chen appeared, many older-generation experts landed and stood behind him.
There were the seven Primes, the Kunlun Palace's five Supreme Elders, the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea, and the various Holy Masters. They were all absolute experts, people who could stir up winds and clouds anywhere they went.
However, these people silently followed behind Xiao Chen. This expressed his identity as the strongest in the Kunlun Realm without any words needing to be said.
The experts of the younger and older generations had assembled. Clearly, they were all here for only one purpose: resisting the Demons and saving the Kunlun Realm.
Di Wuque looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Unexpectedly, I end up fighting by your side. Even my master stands behind you."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "The Demonic Calamity is approaching. Naturally, we have to put our grudges down. I definitely welcome your arrival."
When one reached Xiao Chen's heights, standing at the peak of the Kunlun Realm, many of the past grudges became like the fleeting clouds around the mountain peak.
