As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1096
Chapter 1096 Be Overwhelming
Suddenly, many people appeared on the island. The Xuanxiao Palace was extremely powerful. There were 36 islands and 72 domains. Apparently, a month ago, after True Monarch Xuanxiao was injured, he had already transferred some of the experts from those sects to the outer islands.
At this moment, there were plenty of people below, and there were some old men with very deep cultivation auras. Obviously, they also knew what had happened recently. A white-haired old man from Zi Yi said loudly, “The two friends above are True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan?”
At this moment, True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan were standing beside Xiao Chen, their Quasi-Saint auras intimidating the experts of the sects below, causing them to not dare to act rashly.
‘”True Monarch Xuanxiao has already lost his way. In order to become one with the Blood Demon, he didn’t hesitate to refine the Blood Soul Banner with the soul essence of ten thousand people. This month, he even wantonly annihilated the sect and forcefully seized the soul essence of another person to help him cultivate the Corrupt path. Now, he is already enemies with the entire Ancient Realm cultivators. Are you still unwilling to go astray him?”
At this moment, True Monarch Wei Lan walked forward. A few words caused the people below to tremble in fear.
If True Monarch Xuanxiao was still the same True Monarch Xuanxiao as before, they wouldn’t feel so uneasy at this moment, but True Monarch Xuanxiao’s actions had become even more extreme lately. Perhaps, he was truly enemies with cultivators of the entire Ancient Realm.
Right now, only True Monarch Zi Yu and the others were coming, but if this continued, would it attract cultivators from all over Immortal North Ancient Realm to attack?
Thinking that they would eventually become the target of public criticism, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an abyss. One step forward was the Blade Mountain Flame Sea, and the other step back was the 10,000 meter cliff. What was good about this?
“What should we do now?”
An old man dressed in Qingyi walked over to the white-haired old man from Zi Yi who had just spoken. The two of them seemed to have quite a high cultivation base.
Old man Zi Yi pondered for a long time, but he was also in a dilemma. He said, “Right now, a strand of our lifeblood soul essence is in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands. What do you think we can do now? If we betray him and send our primordial spirits to Nether Dao, I’m afraid that our fate will be even more miserable …”
The two of them furrowed their brows deeply. There were also some other old men with high cultivation not far away. At this moment, they all froze in silence. Obviously, their lifeblood soul essence was also in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands. Otherwise, with their cultivation, they wouldn’t be able to walk freely in the four seas, but how could they be so restrained by others?
The atmosphere gradually became tense. There were so many people reinforcing the restriction below. It would not be easy for Xiao Chen and the others to break through this layer of restriction in a short period of time. Now, they had to think of a way to open the restriction on their own initiative. Otherwise, they would have to break it forcefully.
“Your Excellency … what should we do now?”
Zi Yuan arrived beside Xiao Chen. Everyone had launched a round of attacks just now, but they were still unable to break the restriction below. There must be other experts in Xuanxiao Palace. If they continued to consume Genuine energy, it would probably be a bit bad.
Xiao Chen’s expression was indifferent as he looked down at the people below. His Qi sank into his dantian and he used his internal energy to transmit, “Now, when we turn around, it’s still too late … When the formation breaks, it will be hard for us to escape death.”
The cold voice shocked everyone below. Earlier, they were intimidated by the quasi-sage auras of True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan. Now that they heard this cold voice, they noticed the white-haired young man beside the two True Monarchs. Could it be that he was …
“Lord Lustless Heaven …”
Several old men with high cultivation felt their hearts tremble. Just now, their attention had been on True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan, and they did not notice anyone else.
If the auras of True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan were Yue Zhi of the Abyss, then this young man in front of him was like a vast sea of stars, endless … and also like a returning ruin, unfathomable.
In a short moment, cold sweat was dripping down the back of the old men. What intimidated them at this moment was not Xiao Chen’s high cultivation, but the state of mind that frightened them, as well as the look in their eyes that looked like a bottomless abyss …
“Elder … what should we do?”
At this moment, a few middle-aged men also arrived beside Old man Qingyi and Old man Zi Yi. They looked extremely panicked and uneasy. Obviously, a strand of their lifeblood soul essence was also in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands.
The lifeblood soul essence was a person’s origin soul. If a strand was extracted by someone, it would be restricted by that person for the rest of his life. Unless he escaped to the Ruins of Return, it would be useless anywhere. As long as this strand of lifeblood soul essence was crushed by someone, then his origin soul would immediately be annihilated.
“No …”
Looking at Xiao Chen, True Monarch Zi Yu, and Old man Qingyi in midair, Old man Zi Yi and True Monarch Xuanxiao shook their heads in the end. A strand of their lifeblood soul essence was in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands, so they couldn’t take the risk.
“Your Excellency … it seems that they are unwilling to open the restriction array.” Zi Yuan whispered to Xiao Chen when she saw the expressions of the two old men on the island.
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and did not say anything else. He looked at True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan and said, “These people are unwilling to open the restriction. Next, they can only forcefully break it.”
“That’s the only way.”
Both of them frowned slightly. Right now, they had to break the restrictions on the island as soon as possible. The longer they dragged on for a moment, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Without further ado, the two of them, Genuine energy, urged them, causing several streaks of profound light to rise up from their entire bodies. A surging aura enveloped them. Even though they were separated by numerous restrictions, everyone on the island felt suffocated.
With a swipe of Qin Tianzong’s finger, hundreds and thousands of golden sword qi appeared in the sky. The rest of them did not hesitate and pushed Genuine energy to the limit. This time, they had to break the restriction on the island.
In an instant, the aura of the experts gathered together pressed down like a towering mountain, causing everyone on the island to be unable to breathe at this moment. Especially those with lower cultivation bases, their qi and blood surged endlessly.
“Damn it” Old man Qingyi and Old man Zi Yi’s faces turned pale as they muttered, “They want to forcefully break through the formation …”
Just as the two of them finished speaking, a thousand zhang white light rose up in the air, followed by another zither sound. It was like a ten thousand zhang violent wave, surging towards the island.
“Boom!”
Under the shockwaves of Fuxi Zither’s divine power, the entire island trembled violently. In addition to the combined attacks of True Monarch Zi Yu and other experts, the restriction formation was finally on the verge of collapse. Layers of restrictions had finally cracked.
The people on the island were so frightened that their hearts trembled. They all retreated. Xiao Chen did not hesitate to condense his True Qi again. Fuxi Zither’s divine power instantly surged endlessly. With a “zheng” sound, another zither sound broke through the air.
This time, with the combined attacks of everyone, dense cracks had finally appeared in the layers of restrictions on the island. Xiao Chen added another zither sound and the layers of restrictions were broken. As the dust rolled, countless people on the island were shaken to the point of being sent flying.
“The restriction has been broken. Everyone, please do not delay.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were cold. After he finished speaking, he put Fuxi Zither into his sleeve and flew towards the island.
True Monarch Zi Yu, True Monarch Wei Lan, and Qin Tianzong didn’t hesitate at all. They twisted their fingers and instantly flew towards the island as a streak of sword light.
As soon as they landed on the island, they attacked Xuanxiao Palace, who was on top of the mountain. Although there were many people in the seventy-two domains, they were unable to resist these experts at this moment.
Very quickly, Xiao Chen had already arrived above Xuanxiao Palace. He swept his divine sense, but couldn’t find Ku Lingzi’s soul force aura. Wasn’t it in Xuanxiao Palace? He carefully dipped his divine sense down, but at this moment, a bloody light suddenly shot towards him from within a building.
“Your Excellency, be careful!”
Zi Yuan instantly discovered the bloody light from the darkness. Xiao Chen suddenly reacted and leaned back. With a “whoosh” sound, the bloody light brushed past him.
“Since you’re here, then everyone stay in Xuanxiao Palace today …”
At this moment, a deep voice came from a certain palace. It no longer sounded like True Monarch Xuanxiao.
Even the disciples of Xuanxiao Palace trembled when they heard this low and terrifying voice. Perhaps they did not know that their master had already entered the Devil Realm.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Suddenly, a bloody light filled the sky. This time, it was no longer an illusion. Everyone’s expressions froze and they immediately became alert.
A figure slowly appeared in the bloody light in the sky. That person was True Monarch Xuanxiao, but his current appearance was extremely terrifying. Half of it was his original appearance, while the other half had blood red eyes. It was actually the appearance of a Blood Demon.
At this moment, even the disciples of Xuanxiao Palace and those from the 72 Regions were so scared that they didn’t dare to move. No matter what, they couldn’t understand why True Monarch Xuanxiao chose to enter the Devil Realm …
Qin Tianzong and the others also held their breaths. They never thought that True Monarch Xuanxiao would be heavily injured that day, and today, he would actually become one with the Blood Demon. If they were unable to stop him today, the entire Eastern Region would probably be bleeding into rivers and their lives would be ruined in the future …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze was still cold. He looked at True Monarch Xuanxiao, who was completely devilish, and said indifferently, “Where is Senior’s origin soul?”
He didn’t care why this person wanted to enter the Devil Realm at all. Cultivating a path was originally heaven-defying. If his will wasn’t strong, he would inevitably have a dark devil in his heart. He wanted to live forever and fight against the Heavenly Dao with his own strength. As time passed, it was inevitable that the Devil Fire would attack his heart. He would fall into a sea of bitterness and would never be able to extricate himself. Finally, he would gradually enter the Devil Dao.
“Do you think you can still save him today? You can’t even protect yourself. So what if you know? Hahaha …”
True Monarch Xuanxiao raised his head and smiled. His voice was deep and terrifying. One moment it was his original voice, the other was the Blood Demon’s terrifying voice. Everyone in the distance could already feel a chill from listening to it.
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still cold. He didn’t know when the Di Gu Sword had appeared in his hand, but when he saw the cold light from the blade of the sword, it emitted an even more suffocating Sword Fiend Qi.
“I’m asking you, where is his primordial spirit …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s voice was extremely cold. The Di Gu Sword in his hand instantly emitted a cold sword qi, as if it came from a dark abyss and connected to his master’s mind.
“If you want to save him, then it depends on whether you have the ability …”
True Monarch Xuanxiao said in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly took out a talisman from his sleeve.
The talisman’s blood light shrouded Xiao Chen. Inside the blood light was Ku Lingzi’s soul, bound by the blood soul curses. It was so weak that Xiao Chen could barely feel his soul power.
“Senior!”
Shen Jing’s face turned pale. Looking at Ku Lingzi, who was extremely weak in the bloody light, it was hard to imagine what kind of torture Senior had suffered this year. She also remembered that her master had also been killed by True Monarch Xuanxiao back then. At this moment, she wished she could immediately shred him into ten thousand pieces!
At this moment, the purple aura in her body surged, and a cold killing intent instantly enveloped the entire Xuanxiao Palace. Even Qin Tianzong and the others behind her couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Such a heavy killing intent … It was really hard for them to imagine that a normally benevolent immortal physician would actually have such a heavy killing intent.
“Don’t be impulsive …”
Xiao Chen could sense her chaotic aura. Was she the only one who wanted to save Ku Lingzi? However, right now, with True Monarch Xuanxiao holding the Withered Spirit Child, if he was careless, this person could easily crush the last strand of his primordial spirit.
