As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1079
Chapter 1079 Killing Intent Decision
Everyone present trembled in fear. Countless twisted souls hissed in pain on the blood soul flag. However, under the control of True Monarch Xuanxiao’s soul technique, all of those twisted souls gathered on his body and were actually being devoured by him!
“This … this!”
Devouring the blood essence and souls of countless people to heal his injuries and increase his cultivation was an extremely terrifying thing, even in Diabolism.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. Their entire bodies trembled like chaff as they watched that terrifying scene. They couldn’t help but tremble. How did True Monarch Xuanxiao, who was once extraordinary, become so terrifying now?
“Shit …”
Hua Weiyang’s expression suddenly changed. He never expected that this person would be able to quickly recover from such a serious injury by devouring his soul. Even his strength was constantly increasing …
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Dark winds blew across the sky. In the air, countless blood souls gathered on True Monarch Xuanxiao’s body, dyeing the sky bloody red.
Everyone was already stunned. They had to stop this person. Otherwise, once he recovered, perhaps no one in Heavenly Peak City would be able to stop him!
“Stop him!”
Murong Xi and Qin Tianzong, as well as Celestial Pogoda and Four Daoists, were the first to charge forward despite their previous injuries.
“Over-confident!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao Genuine energy shook, and a surging force surged towards them. Their old injuries hadn’t healed yet, and they immediately added another 30% of their new injuries.
“Grandmother!”
In the distance, Ling Luan’s face had already turned pale from fear. He saw Murong Xi and the others exert all their strength, but they were still unable to stop True Monarch Xuanxiao from devouring the soul inside the Blood Soul Banner.
“Stop him!”
The rest of the cultivators in the city also flew over this way. However, no one who had reached the Soul Formation realm or above retreated at this moment.
Even though some of them didn’t have enough cultivation and knew that they might die here, Celestial Pogoda was no longer the only one facing life and death.
At this moment, many cultivators flew over from all directions. Meanwhile, those from the Thirty-Six Islands and Seventy-Two Regions of Xuanxiao Palace were stunned. True Monarch Xuanxiao was now almost devilized, and they did not dare to act rashly.
“A bunch of ants!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s eyes were terrifying. His entire body trembled with profound energy, and streaks of blood mist surged out. Many xiuzhe who rushed forward were immediately shaken to the point that they vomited blood and flew backwards.
The blood souls in the sky were still gathering on his body, and no one could stop them. Once he devoured all the souls in the blood soul flag, its power would definitely become even more terrifying.
Everyone understood the danger in front of them, but at this moment, no one could stop it. Just as everyone was panicking, two streaks of sword light suddenly appeared from the distant horizon. One was blue and the other was purple.
“Huh?”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s expression was gloomy. At this moment, he naturally sensed the killing intent coming from behind him. However, the two sword lights came too quickly. At this moment, he was devouring the soul inside the Blood Soul Banner. By the time he reacted, the two sword lights had already approached behind him. With a “chi chi” sound, they pierced through his chest and instantly brought up two long blood flowers.
This scene shocked everyone present. As the clouds in the sky surged, two figures instantly arrived. However, both of them wore battle robes, and their faces could not be seen beneath the battle robes.
Although he didn’t know what their identities were, the fact that both of them were able to pierce through True Monarch Xuanxiao with one sword strike meant that they must be Quasi-Saint level figures!
“Ah–”
True Monarch Xuanxiao was even more vicious after being pierced through by the two swords. Even though he was seriously injured, he still lost an arm, and his strength was still astonishing. He waved his right hand, causing a bloody mist to fill the sky. Two streaks of bloody light suddenly shot towards the two mysterious battle-robed men!
Even though the two of them already possessed Quasi-Sage cultivation, they did not dare to underestimate the heavily injured True Monarch Xuanxiao. They hurriedly took off their swords and blocked the two bloody lights with a “zheng” sound.
Even so, the two of them were shaken back, and the clouds in the sky surged endlessly. It could be seen how terrifying True Monarch Xuanxiao’s strength was.
Unless a Saint realm expert arrived, it was almost impossible to kill him. Even if Xiao Chen controlled his life and death, he might not be able to kill True Monarch Xuanxiao, who had already devoured countless people’s blood souls.
“All of you must die … Blood Demon Possession! Ah–”
At this moment, blood mist continuously gushed out from True Monarch Xuanxiao’s body. The entire horizon seemed to have been dyed blood red, and under the twilight, it was even more terrifying and miserable.
A terrifying demonic aura instantly enveloped the entire Eastern City. Under this terrifying demonic aura, everyone began to tremble and feel uneasy.
On the other side, Hua Weiyang’s mouth was still stained with blood, but his hand was constantly calculating something. In the end, his expression changed, “Shit …”
“What’s the matter?”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed as he looked at her. Hua Weiyang’s complexion turned even paler as he looked at True Monarch Xuanxiao, who was gradually demonizing in the distance. “No wonder there was a Blood Devil on his body all the time. It was his fleshly body … If the Blood Devil completely woke up and merged with him, I’m afraid … even a Realm One Sage would not be able to defeat him.”
There were a total of twelve Sages. Three of them were Great Saints. If they broke through to the Outer Realm, they would step into the Outer Realm. From then on, they would no longer be bound by life and death. They would not be in the Three Realms, Six Daos, or the Five Elements. According to ancient records, Qing Emperor should have stepped into the Outer Realm ten Thousand Years ago.
Even though a Sage of the First Realm was the lowest of the Twelve Realms of the Sage Realm, and could be considered to have entered the Sage Realm for the first time, it was definitely not comparable to a Quasi-Sage. Even a Sage of the First Realm could not defeat True Monarch Xuanxiao. Xiao Chen understood what this meant.
“Wei Yang, Zi Yuan … you guys retreat.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze at True Monarch Xuanxiao in the distance became incomparably fixed. Even the Di Gu Sword in his hand seemed to have resonated with him at this moment, constantly emitting a bone-piercing cold sword chill.
“What are you doing …”
Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows narrowed. Seeing Xiao Chen’s gaze, she faintly felt that something was wrong. Now that the twenty-year deadline was coming, the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves was about to wither. He could never …
“Zi Yuan … Bring Palace Master back to Celestial Pogoda!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze towards True Monarch Xuanxiao gradually turned cold and fierce. His words seemed to be determined by his own heart. He had risked his life and death today and was determined to eliminate this curse. Once True Monarch Xuanxiao had the strength of a Saint realm, who else would be able to control this person at that time?
If it really reached that level, even the entire Ku Lingzi would be in grave danger if Lustless Heaven were to be saved.
“Back off.”
Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and sent Hua Weiyang and Zi Yuan to the back. Then, he stepped into the void and activated the Genuine energy in his body. He slashed down on True Monarch Xuanxiao with his sword.
This sword strike was unusual. His entire body was wrapped in Genuine energy, as if it was on fire. He instantly poured 50% of Di Gu Sword into Genuine energy. It was precisely the Earth Sword that the old beggar had taught him back then!
When this sword was launched, the heavens and the earth changed drastically. The void was completely shattered, and the clouds in the sky surged endlessly! Everyone’s hearts trembled. What kind of sword style was it that was so powerful?
At this moment, even Qin Tianzong, who was known as the “Heavenly Tide Sword Sovereign”, couldn’t help but feel shocked. What kind of sword style was such an imposing sword move? Qin E was also stunned. Even her father would not be able to use such a powerful sword …
However, they didn’t know that Xiao Chen would sacrifice half of his Genuine energy if he used this sword. Moreover, if Di Gu Sword used this sword, how many Sword Fiends would he have to endure? If it weren’t for his last resort, he wouldn’t have used this sword so easily!
“You want to kill me?”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s eyes were still burning with rage as he faced Xiao Chen’s majestic and earth-shattering slash. He raised his right hand and blood mist poured out, covering the sky and the sun. With a “rumble”, it collided with Xiao Chen’s slash, causing mountains to collapse. The entire world fell into a scene of doomsday and dusk. The sky was dim and the earth was covered with blood mist!
“Ah!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s body was drenched in blood. No matter how Genuine energy urged him and the blood mist rose again, it was still difficult to block that heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sword strike. Everything around him had already been shattered into powder. Even many people in Xuanxiao Palace had no time to dodge it, and under that sword strike just now, their bodies and spirits had been annihilated.
On the other side, Gui Yunshan thought to himself that the cultivations of the two people who had just arrived weren’t low either. They feared that they shouldn’t stay any longer today, so he immediately sent a divine message to True Monarch Xuanxiao, “It’s not appropriate to stay any longer today … Let’s go! Once our Yuan Qi recovers, we can fight again in the future!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up. His left hand flashed out and squeezed into the air. It was as if a crack had been formed in the void. Then, a curl of mist swept out and engulfed True Monarch Xuanxiao and the rest of the Xuanxiao Palace.
In a short moment, the void crack disappeared. In the boundless twilight, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s cold and terrifying voice came from afar, “I, Xuanxiao, will definitely avenge you! The Blood Demon has already appeared … None of the people present today will be able to escape! On Blood Moon Night, this city will definitely flow with blood …”
The sound gradually faded away. The boundless twilight shrouded the entire Heavenly Peak City. In the vicinity of Celestial Pogoda, the mountain peak shattered, and the smell of blood enveloped them. Everyone was still as if they were in a dream, staring blankly at the horizon where darkness was gradually descending.
True Monarch Xuanxiao has escaped, and what he said just now, on Blood Moon Night, this city will definitely flow with blood. The Blood Demon has already left, and not a single one of them will be able to escape …
At this moment, everyone felt a chill behind them, and they all felt as if a great calamity was imminent.
The nearby blood mist gradually dispersed. In the air, two mysterious battle-robed men also descended. Just as they were about to head this way, Xiao Chen forcefully raised his True Qi and pointed his sword at the two of them. He coldly said, “Stop!”
Hearing this, they saw that his eyes were cold and fierce. The two of them stopped and looked at each other. The person on the left said, “There is no malice between us. Venerable Lord Lustless, there is no need to be so nervous.”
