As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1101
Chapter 1101 Fierce Battle
“Blood Demon-Heaven Devouring!”
As the terrifying sound came from behind, the entire horizon suddenly turned bloody red. A radius of tens of kilometers seemed to be sealed in an instant, and no one could escape from the island.
At this moment, no one saw Qin Tianzong and the others panic. Instead, the original disciples of Xuanxiao Palace, as well as the experts of the seventy-two domains, were all terrified and uneasy.
“Looks like it’s not easy to leave.”
Xiao Chen’s expression remained the same. Seeing that his surroundings were sealed, he immediately stopped. The space between Ku Lingzi’s brows was tightly knitted. Obviously, he did not expect that True Monarch Xuanxiao, who had become one with the Blood Demon, would actually become so much stronger. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to leave this island without defeating him.
“None of you can leave today!”
At this moment, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s demonic flames rose high, and his entire body was completely devilized. His eyes turned blood red, and his body was covered in blood mist.
The people of Xuanxiao Palace and the 72 Realms were shocked. They knew that True Monarch Xuanxiao was cultivating soul arts to devour other people’s souls to increase their soul power …
“Old man, don’t die this time.” Xiao Chen’s gaze landed on True Monarch Xuanxiao, who had grown much stronger, and he said indifferently.
“Hmph.”
Ku Lingzi snorted softly and looked coldly at True Monarch Xuanxiao. “Kid, you should take good care of yourself. This person has fused with the Blood Demon. His current strength is probably already at the Saint realm. Don’t think that you can be completely unscrupulous just by wearing the Black Tortoise Armor.”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. This Black Tortoise Armor was worn on his body without any aura, and he couldn’t even see it. However, he discovered it at a glance. No wonder … He was now a soul body, and he had the most insight into a magic treasure that could be concealed like the Black Tortoise Armor.
“Black Tortoise Armor?”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s eyes immediately turned cold when he heard this. No wonder this brat dared to forcefully take a few moves from him just now, and he was fine. He originally thought it was the 36 strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi, but he didn’t expect to have another Black Tortoise Armor. No wonder …
At this moment, a look of greed appeared in his eyes. If he wore this Black Tortoise Armor on his body, he would be a Saint realm expert. What could he do?
“I’m afraid you’re looking for the wrong person if you want to hit on someone from Xiao.”
Seeing that True Monarch Xuanxiao’s gaze was filled with greed, Xiao Chen immediately thought of the things that had happened outside to kill and seize treasures. However, he didn’t seem to have met many people who dared to think of him.
“Kid, don’t talk to him anymore. Quickly finish the battle, so as to avoid a change later.”
Ku Lingzi still had a bad premonition today. Once he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated. With a boost from his soul power, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, and an oppressive aura surged in all directions.
“Zheng!”
With a cold sword cry, Xiao Chen took out the Di Gu Sword once again. However, the moment he touched Di Gu, he suddenly felt a trace of coldness coming from the abyss. Today, he had already used Di Gu too much. It was no longer appropriate for him to continue using it. The baleful energy in the sword would eventually devour his body.
“Hmph! Even if you two work together … so what!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s demonic aura trembled, and a layer of bloody aura instantly enveloped the surroundings. It caused one’s heart to tremble. Before he could finish his sentence, he had already sent a sharp palm over with killing intent!
“Watch out!”
Ku Lingzi didn’t forget to remind Xiao Chen not to rely on his Black Tortoise Armor to resist True Monarch Xuanxiao’s demonic arts. If he was at the peak of that year, dealing with a True Monarch Xuanxiao would be as easy as turning his palm. However, the past was over. In the end, he was no longer the Sacred Soul of the Netherworld.
“Bang!”
The collision of their strengths caused a tremendous uproar. The seawater outside the island surged endlessly. Even though there were restrictions around them, it was difficult to resist this powerful force. It was enough to show how powerful the two of them were, something that no one present could compare to.
On the other side, Xiao Chen swiftly raised his sword, and a set of 33-dan Jade Flute Sword Techniques was completed. In an instant, it shot towards True Monarch Xuanxiao.
However, seeing the moving clouds and flowing waters of the sword technique, dot, pick, pierce, stir, open and close, the movement of the sword was seamless. The void within the sword, the reality within the sword, the reality within the void was dazzling and difficult to distinguish. Only a green sword light flew out, and layers of sword shadows instantly enveloped True Monarch Xuanxiao’s surroundings.
“Humph!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao coldly snorted. At this moment, the Demonic Flame Attack was almost crazy, but he didn’t know that this was Ling Yin’s peerless sword technique. He actually wanted to forcefully break the sword technique at this moment.
Sure enough, nothing unexpected happened. With a’chi ‘sound, his left arm was pierced by a sword and blood immediately splashed everywhere. His left arm was originally broken by Hua Weiyang not long ago. It was presumably reborn after merging with the Blood Demon.
In the blink of an eye, blood splattered all over his right arm, shoulder, and chest. If it weren’t for the fact that he had the power of the Eight Desolates protecting his body, he would have been seriously injured by Xiao Chen’s swordsmanship.
“What a fast sword …”
Even Qin Tianzong, who was known as the “Heavenly Tide Sword Sovereign”, couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. Although his attainments in swordsmanship were beyond the reach of ordinary people, he had no choice but to admit that the swordsmanship in Xiao Chen’s hand was extremely exquisite. He really didn’t know who created it …
When he was in Celestial Pogoda that day, he saw Xiao Chen use the Earth Sword. At that time, he was shocked by the might of the sword, but at this moment, he was shocked by the essence of the sword technique that Xiao Chen was currently using.
Soon, True Monarch Xuanxiao had already retreated step by step, unable to retaliate. He could only shake his demonic aura and fly backwards, no longer wanting to forcefully break through Xiao Chen’s sword technique.
“How is it? Are you still thinking about the Black Tortoise Armor on me?”
Xiao Chen waved his sword. With a “zheng” sound, the edge of the sword continuously emitted a sword cry. It was cold like frost, captivating the soul. Only then did everyone awaken from their dreams. That exquisite and peerless sword technique just now …
“Don’t be so arrogant!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao was both shocked and furious. As soon as the devil essence gathered in his palm, a bloody mist filled the sky, causing the people in the distance to be unable to breathe.
As for Ku Lingzi, his eyes were cold. Seeing True Monarch Xuanxiao being injured, he raised his hand again. Just like that, True Monarch Xuanxiao was finally defeated and the demonic flames gradually dissipated under his close and intimate attack with Xiao Chen.
Not far away, Hua Weiyang’s injuries had gradually stabilized. Seeing that Xiao Chen and Ku Lingzi were unable to attack for a long time, she suddenly thought of something. She jumped up and quietly circled behind True Monarch Xuanxiao from afar. Her hands formed seals. A cold light flashed and two flying swords flew over.
True Monarch Xuanxiao was currently focused on fighting against Xiao Chen and Ku Lingzi. When he sensed that the two flying swords behind him were attacking, it was already too late to dodge. With a “chi chi” sound, blood immediately splashed everywhere. The two flying swords actually pierced through his shoulders from behind.
“Ah–”
True Monarch Xuanxiao immediately raised his head and let out a loud roar. With a wave of his hand, an extremely powerful palm force shot towards Hua Weiyang. Even the buildings along the way were instantly reduced to dust.
“Wei Yang … be careful!”
This palm strike was so fast that Xiao Chen could no longer save him. However, Hua Weiyang had naturally expected True Monarch Xuanxiao to attack him long ago. He had already made preparations. After the sneak attack succeeded, he immediately launched his qinggong and flew away. With a “boom”, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s palm strike was finally empty.
At this moment, another figure flew towards True Monarch Xuanxiao. With a “bang”, he spat out blood and flew backwards. It was none other than True Monarch Zi Yu.
“Xuan Xiao! This palm … is for Bai Hong!”
“Ah–”
True Monarch Xuanxiao let out a shrill howl. His entire body was already covered in a shawl. He looked like he was going crazy. He wanted to activate his devil essence again, but for some reason, at this moment, his entire body’s devil essence seemed to have suddenly shattered. It gushed out of his hundred orifices and was no longer easy to recover.
It turned out that it was Hua Weiyang who ambushed his two flying swords just now, and the Serene Race’s “Demon Breaking Secret Seal” was secretly stamped on it. It was as if a cultivator’s zhenqi had dissipated.
“Xuan Xiao, you killed my master, pay for it today!”
At some unknown time, Shen Jing also rushed forward. At this moment, purple energy surged all over her body, and she had already circulated the Nine Transformations to its limit. She slapped True Monarch Xuanxiao’s head with her palm, causing blood to spill out of her eyes.
However, this palm strike did not stop there. In the next instant, the Nine Transformations that she was carrying started to circulate crazily on her own, continuously sucking True Monarch Xuanxiao’s cultivation power towards her.
“Ah–”
True Monarch Xuanxiao raised his head and let out a shrill roar. At this moment, not only did his devil essence dissipate, even the cultivation power that he had cultivated for hundreds of years was constantly being sucked away by others.
This scene shocked everyone in the distance. This … Who exactly was the devil? What exactly was that woman cultivating? She was actually able to absorb all of a person’s strength …
Obviously, Shen Jing hadn’t expected this scene. She hadn’t expected the Nine Transformations to undergo a sudden change. It was as if she had her own Spiritual Sense and was crazily absorbing True Monarch Xuanxiao’s power.
However, how could she withstand True Monarch Xuanxiao’s profound strength? If he continued to absorb it, his meridians would probably be completely severed, and all five of them would be burned!
“Shen Jing!”
Xiao Chen’s body moved, and he instantly rushed forward, pulling her back. At the same time, he struck out with his palm, causing True Monarch Xuanxiao to spit out blood and fly backwards with a “bang”.
“How are you?”
True Monarch Xuanxiao no longer cared about Xiao Chen. Hua Weiyang placed her hands on Shen Jing’s shoulders to help her regulate her internal breathing. Shen Jing raised her head and saw his nervous appearance. She was suddenly stunned. So, other than Hua Weiyang, would he be so nervous about her …
“No, it’s fine …”
Shen Jing regained her senses and shook her head. Ku Lingzi flew over as well. In that instant, he could tell that she had not cultivated according to her instructions this year.
The Nine Transformations were already strange and strange. At that moment, she was filled with hatred and anxiety. She was already faintly possessed by a devil …
“Ah–”
Suddenly, True Monarch Xuanxiao raised his head and let out a fierce roar. It was like a demonic roar coming from the abyss. It shook the heavens and earth, causing the hearts of the disciples in Xuanxiao Palace to tremble endlessly.
“Master … Master …”
Two of the disciples who happened to be behind him had long since turned pale from fear. Their entire bodies were trembling like chaff, and they were even trembling as they spoke.
“Help me … Come!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao’s eyes turned red. He raised his hands and grabbed the two disciples from the sky. The two disciples were instantly terrified, but before they could let out a miserable scream, they were instantly pressed down by True Monarch Xuanxiao and sucked away their blood essence souls. They instantly turned into two dried corpses and fell down.
At this moment, countless disciples of Xuanxiao Palace in the surroundings were even more frightened to the point that their hearts were shattered. They all scattered and fled in all directions. However, the vicinity had been sealed off, and none of them were able to escape.
“Blood Soul Banner … Help me!”
True Monarch Xuanxiao was even more terrifying than a devil. He instantly took out the Blood Soul Banner. It was ten kilometers in radius. Suddenly, a fierce wind blew out from the banner. Like lightning, the blood mist flew towards the nearby disciples of Xuanxiao Palace. In an instant, it snatched away the blood souls of those disciples.
“Master … Master … spare me!”
“Ah!”
Suddenly, miserable cries echoed out. It was as if Xuanxiao Palace had instantly turned into an Asura Hell. Thousands of disciples were sucked away by True Monarch Xuanxiao in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the people from the 72 Regions were already stunned. Entering the devil … was actually so terrifying!
Shen Jing said coldly, “Don’t go all-devilish. Wasn’t he so cruel when he wasn’t devilish back then?”
At this moment, Ku Lingzi’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. True Monarch Xuanxiao had devoured so many people’s blood essence and souls. This time, it would be even more difficult to deal with. Unless he could return to the peak of that year …
Could it be that he really wanted to take the risk of unsealing the seal? But in this way, the Nether Soul Master will definitely notice …
