As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073 The Mysterious Old Man
After saying that, Xuanming Youji and Ghost Lord Yinshan exchanged a glance. The two of them immediately flew off into the distance and hid behind a mountain peak.
At this moment, there were also a few figures hiding on another mountain peak. One of them was Divine Martial Palace and Cang Lan of Palace Master.
From just now until now, he had been observing everything on this side with his breath held. He never expected True Monarch Xuanxiao to cause such a big commotion this time. He couldn’t help but secretly pinch a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn’t make a move before.
At this moment, following the departure of Ghost Lord Yinshan and Xuanming Youji, the nearby cultivators slowly gathered towards Celestial Pogoda. Seeing that the people from various forces were intending to help retreat, Four Daoists immediately said, “Thanks for the help of the righteous men today, Daoist Taiwu will definitely not forget this!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the morale of the surrounding xiuzhe became even higher. The people of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates originally did not offend each other and respected Immortal North Ancient Realm. But now, True Monarch Xuanxiao had violated his morality and righteousness first. No matter what, he had to help Celestial Pogoda resist the enemy today.
Of course, the main reason why more people thought so was because True Monarch Xuanxiao was too ambitious. They could no longer turn a blind eye to him. How could he allow others to snore beside the bed? When Celestial Pogoda is broken, it will most likely be their turn …
At this moment, more people were coming towards Celestial Pogoda from afar, “True Monarch Xuanxiao, Celestial Pogoda has always been a place for cultivating talents in the Ancient Realm, and has rarely been involved in world disputes. True Monarchs have no reason to eliminate them today. If we stop here, we can pretend that nothing has happened. If True Monarchs insist on going our own way and disregarding the lives of others, then we can no longer sit idly by today.”
“We cannot sit idly by today!”
For a moment, many people immediately raised their arms and shouted in unison. Of course, it was not ruled out that some of them had been arranged by Hua Weiyang to sneak into the crowd.
It was naturally her idea to disguise herself as True Monarch Bai Hong to trick Ghost Lord Yinshan and Xuanming Youji into coming.
She predicted that after the two of them arrived, they would be afraid of Xiao Chen’s identity and would not dare to act rashly. That was why she dared to lure the two of them here boldly and relieved.
Because these two were the leaders of the Devil Sect, if they came “at the invitation of True Monarch Xuanxiao”, it would make people even more suspicious. Only in this way would they be able to achieve the best results.
At this moment, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. It was as ugly as it looked. He said coldly, “In that case, everyone is planning to become enemies with True Monarch Four Seas …”
Hua Weiyang snorted coldly and said, “Since ancient times, those who have received more help from the Dao have not received any help from those who have lost their Dao. Don’t you understand such a simple truth? Today, you have lost your Dao, ignored the lives of others, committed indiscriminate killings, and even helped you. I think that even if you are not a demon, it would still be a distortion of the Dao!”
“Humph! It’s just a bunch of mobs, ants shaking trees!”
At this moment, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s expression was ice-cold, and his killing intent surged. He coldly said, “I am True Monarch Xuanxiao of the Four Seas! How dare you compete with Haoyue for glory with a mere firefly? Why don’t you retreat?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a myriad of profound lights suddenly descended from the sky. That terrifying aura was like the wrath of the ancient gods, and it was like a raging sea, pressing down on everyone.
“Idiot … watch out!”
Seeing that such a terrifying aura was about to descend, Hua Weiyang’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect that True Monarch Xuanxiao was still hiding such a terrifying strength. He couldn’t think about it and immediately lifted the Netherpiercing Umbrella and Yu Lianhua to fly up.
The two of them were still able to withstand the aura pressure of True Monarch Xuanxiao, but the people below were unable to endure it. Some of them were even at the end of their dao. Under this aura pressure, it was as if a boundless amount of power was constantly being exerted on their bodies. Slowly, blood oozed out from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses.
“You should withdraw now. This True Monarch will let bygones be bygones. If he insists on causing chaos, there is no escaping death!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao was floating in the air. His entire popularity was like a calm abyss. However, when he said those words, it was like a flood, causing some people with slightly lower cultivation levels to feel dizzy and their qi and blood to surge endlessly.
“The Dao has already lost its Dao, so there is no need to say more.”
Xiao Chen’s starry eyes were cold and sharp. His sword-like eyebrows were as cold as frost. Without saying anything else, the 33 Layered Li Hen Technique instantly circulated, and his entire body was filled with dense True Qi. At this moment, boundless power surged out like the ocean, blocking True Monarch Xuanxiao’s domineering aura.
Everyone below was finally able to catch their breath, but Ke Xin was also secretly shocked. It was hard to imagine that he actually had such a powerful body of strength …
Even Ghost Lord Yinshan and Xuanming Youji, who were hiding in the distance, could feel the boundless power of the ocean at this moment.
“You are destined to seek your own death if you become enemies with this True Monarch!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s gaze was terrifying. At this moment, there were faint signs of redness in his eyes. His body no longer had the “extraordinary” immortal energy of the past. Instead, he had a faint smell of being enchanted.
Everyone in the distance trembled in fear. When they saw True Monarch Xuanxiao, who was faintly possessed by the devil, their hearts were filled with shock. It seemed that what the woman had just said was most likely true. True Monarch Xuanxiao was afraid that he would have worshipped the Nether Dao. Demons would arise from the heart and enter the devil from the dao …
“True Monarch …”
On the other side, Chi Yunshi and Xuanxiao Palace felt that something was wrong. The next moment, without waiting for them to say anything, True Monarch Xuanxiao suddenly used his killing move. At the same time, several streaks of blood light flew out from his body. Upon closer inspection, the seven or eight streaks of blood light were actually a blood red flying sword that shot towards Xiao Chen.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The sudden arrival of a few flying swords caused the surrounding blood to glow brightly. Yin winds rose in all directions. Thinking about it, this flying sword was also refined from human blood essence souls. Its power was enormous, but it was extremely evil.
Xiao Chen immediately unleashed the Ling Xian Steps, leaving behind a few afterimages. However, his true body avoided the attacks of those flying swords.
The fierce battle between the two continued. The wind blew and smoke billowed. For a time, the clouds and winds changed rapidly, and the earth trembled endlessly. After an unknown amount of time, there were countless rounds of battles, but it was still difficult to determine the outcome.
“I’ll kill you in one move!”
Suddenly, True Monarch Xuanxiao scolded. Blood glowed in his eyes. He raised his palm and the palm print of a hundred zhang appeared. It had the power to shake the heavens and seize the earth, causing dust to billow within a radius of several dozen kilometers. Birds and beasts to disappear, making it even harder for everyone to breathe.
“Delusional.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was cold and sharp. He waved his palm, and in the blink of an eye, the 33 Layers of Li Hen Technique was already perfect. Incomparably profound energy within his body, it immediately transformed into a palm shadow!
“Watch out!”
Seeing that the two of them were about to meet again, the cultivators in the distance were shocked. They hurriedly circulated their True Qi to avoid them. With a “rumble”, the sky and earth seemed to collapse. Everything around the two of them was destroyed by the palm power, and even the puppets along the way were instantly wiped out.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the two of them were still standing proudly in the air, their long hair flying in the air, and their clothes dancing randomly. They were like two ancient war gods, shocking to the eye.
Unknowingly, both sides had been fighting for half the afternoon. At this moment, under the setting sun, Xiao Chen’s hands were behind his back. His gaze was still cold and sharp. No matter how cold the wind blew, his white hair flew and he stared at his opponent unmoving.
As for the people from Xuanxiao Palace and Celestial Pogoda and the people from various forces, they were already exhausted from fighting. Both sides had suffered casualties. If the fight continued, the casualties would probably be even more severe.
This afternoon, no matter how tense the battle situation was, Xiao Chen still had some room for action, because he had always been afraid. The abyss-like aura he had sensed that day seemed to have faintly sensed it again in that instant just now.
“Hahaha …”
Just as it was silent, a hoarse and aged laugh suddenly came from somewhere deep in the clouds. Such a strange laugh caused everyone present to be shocked and at a loss.
“Is it finally here …”
Xiao Chen stared at the sunset clouds in the west. He vaguely saw a black dot. That black dot gradually turned into a human figure.
Sure enough, the things that you are most worried about will happen immediately …
“Hahaha, True Monarch Xuanxiao, it seems that you can’t deal with this little doll. In the end, I’ll have to take action …”
In an instant, that figure had actually arrived in front of him. At this moment, everyone in Celestial Pogoda held their breath.
The man stepped into the void, his hands behind his back. Every step he took, his figure teleported a hundred feet forward. It was as if he had already allowed himself to wander between heaven and earth without any restrictions. Could it be that his cultivation had actually reached this level?
Everyone present instantly felt as if they had fallen into an abyss, as if they were petrified. They were stunned on the spot, motionless.
